Hot Rods Please help identifying this turn signal light

I was at a flea market this weekend, and I ended up buying these beautiful turn signal/indicator lights.
They look almost like NOS old or are at least in a very good condition.
They are 14" long, no text on them anywhere apart from on the bracket that you mount in the car that says A (where you put your light bulb). The orange/amber gl*** says Hella.

I might have to buy the car that they sit on just to make use of them...

Does anyone have a clue?

Thanks guys.

Profile of the light is added.

 

GREAT DESIGN but have never seen before, sorry.

 

Cab marker/running lights off of big/semi trucks. Go on the cab roof.

 

How sure are you of that?
They do curve some as if mounted on a fender.

 

heres a lil history on hella i found on the net. http://www.hella.com/hella-com-en/323.html

first thing that comes to mind when i hear that name is VW,s,thats where i see the name hella from,,those lights are cool that is for sure

 

Thanks for the link, but the lights I have are way to big for a VW. 14" (or 35cm) indicates a much bigger car than a VW. Nice try though.

 

Ever drive truck? Roofs are curved and these were also, to fit snugly. Note the amber colored lenses. Ever see a '40s car with amber turn signal lenses?
Truck forward-facing clearance lights were amber-lensed, side and rearward facing were red. Truck supply houses had these by Yankee, King Bee, Signal, Dietz, Hella, and many others. They were a popular retrofit with trucking companies as well as independents.

 

I´ve doubt that I´ve even seen many US rigs live. I live in Sweden and we almost exclusivly get Volvo, Scania and Merc trucks here. I´ve only been to NYC, WAS and CHI and spent very little time ogling over vintage clearance lights, but that might still be a good guess.
Anyone else with a theory?

 

Volvo trucks use Hella marker lights, have for many years.

 

Well, no luck yet on google searching for these.
Any other ideas apart from truck marker lights?

 

oh i know they were not vw for sure,,just saying that it makes me think of vw's or at least foreign car lights,,whatever they are they are cool,,im interested in seeing what they came off

 

truck marker no matter where its from heck even a cycle fairing maybe

 

......actually... there were aftermarket l-o-n-g front fender lights for early VW bugs. I never saw one in person, but did see a feature car in a VW mag that explained what they were and how rare they are. I think they were Hella.

I think the vw ones had a vw looking lens, not like the pic above. But I could be wrong.

 

Hmmm, interesting! I have to check the split window bugs for sure.

 

Well, mystery maybe solved.
It's from a late fifties Mercedes Benz, Ponton, probably the 220s or something as the indicated by this article I found not far from this forum...

Close, but still not quite there. Might be some other model than 220S I have.

 

Well, shut mah mouth! (I worked on M-B for years, and never noticed those. Musta been under my fender covers...

 

Maybe you didn't have a black belt on the 220S models, just the 180´s or something?

The lights do look a bit different from those I have. I'm still not 100% sure yet, but I feel close.
